YES, a new four-storey indie music venue for Manchester

YES, a new independent music venue spread across four floors of the former auctioneers’ house and printing press on Charles Street launched in late September, with a flurry of free drinks, pizza and cheesy crab balls. There’s a basement club, ground-floor beer hall, live ‘Pink Room’ and a rooftop terrace. Street food vendors Firebird Hope and Pepperoni Playboy provide the food: pizza by the slice, free-range chicken burgers and vegan sandwiches. Regular family-friendly days include events such as storytelling and face painting. YES is the latest venture from Manchester promoters and huge music fans Now Wave.
